Hi Guys

My little guy, Gandalf, is doing really great. He's 10 weeks old on Saturday, he's growing very well (9.5inches now) he eats very well, he's very active, a lovely little character.

For 2 days last week he was a bit off and he shed the skin on his head. Since then there was no sign of shedding anywhere else but in the last 3 days his tail has really dulled and faded. Where the rest of him has coloured up quite well, his tail is almost grey-looking. Still with good markings, just very faded, and it's been getting worse each day.

I'm probably panicking but do you guys think this is just normal shedding? Aside from the colour there's no sign of the shed yet. The rest of him looks very healthy, the tail is still in great working condition, he's still very much himself, it's just this colouring that's worrying me a bit. How long would it normally take to shed from start to finish? Is there anything i can do? I've been bathing him every day which he seems to like and misting him in the mornings.

Any advice?

Thank you

Ange x

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
